Tips for Perfect Homemade Summer Sausage
- Knead well: The more evenly you mix and knead, the smoother the sausage texture will be.
- Form tight logs: Compact the meat firmly to prevent cracks or air gaps during baking.
- Store properly: Keep the finished sausage tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. It will last up to 2 weeks chilled or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Serve cold or at room temperature: This sausage tastes best when sliced thin and slightly chilled — perfect for snacking or party trays.
